When it comes to Murphy’s other FX anthologies, he’s currently casting an eighth season of American Horror Story (and, in classic Murphy fashion, reveals he’s “throwing in Joan Collins” and is “interested” in Anjelica Huston)

Meanwhile, he’s still working on Crime Story to follow the just-finished Versace.

But there’s one story that’s already been optioned that he definitely won’t be telling right now: Monica Lewinsky’s White House sex scandal.

“I told her, ‘Nobody should tell your story but you, and it’s kind of gross if they do,’” Murphy recalls telling Lewinsky when he ran into her at a Hollywood party. “‘If you want to produce it with me, I would love that; but you should be the producer and you should make all the goddamn money.’”

And don’t forget about Feud! That may or may not be centering around Charles and Diana next season.

First of all, Monica isn’t a murderer like OJ or Cunanan. Second of all, Bette and Joan are both dead and their story is a well known public story. Monica’s story may or may not be known – except for the big points. If she tells her story, she should benefit.

jpcolter, Brian was clearly referring to the families of OJ’s and Cunanan’s victims.

I think Murphy’s point is that Lewinsky *deserves* to make the money, given how she was demonised and brutalised by the media. Murderers and their families do not deserve to profit from crime, and in some countries there are laws preventing them from doing so. As for Bette and Joan: they are both dead and their immediate families were estranged from them, and have already profited from them with tell-all memoirs.

Every 3 years or so we get ANOTHER round of Monical Lewinsky trying to give interviews to her friends in media.

The articles are usually the same, she’ll go on and on about how she doesn’t want to talk about the Clinton scandal and wants to move on with her life….then will spend the next 10 pages talking about the Clinton Scandal and how she is somehow the good guy, and the wife of the guy she slept with is the bad guy.

The latest is she always tries to become part of the current biggest story. A few years ago when she did this, she tried to say she was just like Tyler Clementi, the gay kid who committed suicide, this time she compared herself to the #MeToo movement.

She graduated from the London School of Economics, she lives in London, NYC, and LA, doesn’t seem to have a job and yet is at ALL the Hollywood parties where she befriends reporters and keeps getting new interviews every few years.

If she’s going to write a book or do a TV show, just do it for God’s Sake so we don’t have to keep reading the same articles about her every few years.

And you disagree with that?

Please provide details on how the wife is the bad guy and the woman who slept with the married man or the man are the good guys.

We get it, Republicans hate women, but please detail out your logic.

I never said Monica Lewinsky or Bill Clinton were the “good guys”. I’m saying they and Hillary Clinton are all the “bad guys”. Hillary Clinton has allegedly went on record to say that the women who accused her husband of rape were “bimbo eruptions”. Then she showed how hypocritical she can be when she writes on Twitter that all women of sexual assault should be believed. If that’s true, why didn’t she believe Paula Jones who successfully took Bill Clinton to court and forced him to settle out of court for sexually assaulting her. Another thing that makes Hillary Clinton a bad person is that she was a public defender for a child rapist and laughed about the fact that she got him off on a technicality even though he brutally raped a 12 year-old so hard that she went into a coma. Hillary claimed the 12 year-old was coming onto her client when she stood before the judge.

There was another season after that. I can’t even remember what the subtitle was, so I must have been even more underwhelmed than I thought I was.

Murphy is every inch the great showman when announcing his star-studded projects – just less so in delivering them. A month or so back he announced that The Politician would star Barbra Streisand – which she denied a week later. In his latest media frenzy he also floated the idea of a “variety special” co-starring Streisand and Lady Gaga – something equally unlikely to happen. But he gets the attention.

The truth about Monica is she has still been held as the most vilified woman in history. Almost impeaching a sitting president. She didn’t she was grossly manipulated. As such she has become popular as a joke, not a person of character with a mistake in her past. She has not been allowed to govforward with her life. The Clinton machine has held her down. She has been used, trashed, tossed and held to a higher moral standard than President C. She deserves to be producer, make a fortune and profit from being rejected from gainful employment, credibility as a person, and respected for something other than a sex scandal. Good old Bill! Nasty Woman in a bad way, Monica. Society has killed caked her to the curb. She deserves to be heard and allowed respect ? not vilification. No person has had it worse in the public and press. No one.
